Wes, you are correct.
I need to take the joke.
If only Zim was actually joking...
This is the dumbest thing he said:
"The Yankees should show a lot of class and extend Joe Torre and Mariano Rivera"
Whatever you say, Jabba.
No doubt Rivera is the greatest closer the game has ever seen, but when your entire (recent) identity is in beating the Red Sox, and BoSox (among others) clearly have Mariano's number, it's time to move on. It kills me to say that, because he has been the single most important person on that roster for years, until now. An ERA hovering around 11 on May 1st is does not spell "contract extension" to me. The guy can only ride his past accomplishments for so long. As great as he is, it's time for him to hang it up.
